A prediction: All “Casper the Friendly Ghost” cartoons will be pulled sometime soon, because Casper is white.

E&H has been on the decline for some time.

It will be OK to the Left if they renamed it the Lenin and Che college.

BS.

Wasps don’t discriminate...they are equal-opportunity stingers.

Washington & Lee University will be next...

A good way to fight this madness is through ridicule. Then again, in order for ridicule to have an affect its target must be sentient enough to know it is being ridiculed; and I’m afraid a majority of these bozos do not meet that standard.

I don't think Judge Smails would have re-christened The Flying Wasp if it had survived the encounter with Al Czervik's boat anchor.

Close the college before fall, and sell off all the assets. All income should be donated to BLM and Antifa. E&H can just put their money in their mouth.

All they have to do is say no.

Any shenanigans?

On private property? Have security remove.

On public property? Blast uncomfortable sound waves. Flashing lights. Sirens. It will end.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Bug lives matter.

Sometimes a wasp is just a wasp.

Most young people have to be TOLD what a WASP is. This is ignorant on the part of the school

[HangnJudge]

Does that mean the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are next?
